History
Polskie Radio was founded on August 18, 1925. Regular broadcasting was started on 18 April 1926 in Warsaw. From 1931 broadcasts were transmitted by one of the strongest stations in Europe in Raszyn (which in 1939 was destroyed by the invading German Army). After the Second World War, Polskie Radio was as a part of the public broadcasting body Polskie Radio i Telewizja (PRT - Polish Radio and Television). It was admitted as a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union in 1992.
Before the Second World War, Polish Radio broadcasted one national channel (Warszawa I) and 9 regional stations (see: [[: Krakow (from 15/2/1927), Poznan (from 24/4/1927), Katowice (from 4/12/1927), Wilno (from 15/1/1928), Lwow (from 15/1/1930), Lodz (from 2/2/1930), Torun (from 15/1/1935), Warszawa II (from 1/3/1937) and Baranowicze (from 1/7/1938).
